Has anyone else had problems with this channel today. It's been mostly dark all day, all the other channels are working fine.

Maybe they were sensitive to our comments about the side boxes (especially the double boxes on some shows). The whole evening was bar-free!! Daytime shows still have them so obviously they are stuck on this idea... most likely because most of their signal sources and ENG stuff is 4:3. Still, it's an improvement... I'll take it.

Turns out the problem was with multiple HD channels experiencing problems. Had D* out and it was determined that an LNB was bad but instead of replacing it they just took down the old school 5LNB dish I had and replaced it with the newer Slimline. Absolutely no problems since.
